All children and adults deserve to see themselves in books and we ALL should read about people different than ourselves and our life experiences. Perspective is key to empathy and understanding of others. Providing books of inclusion is a great way to participate.
To develop and foster wider understanding, empathy and compassion around the world!
My library focuses on books about racial, social, economic and environmental justice.
